A collection of rhythmic words for the broken hearted

All Things Painful is a collection of words delivered through the mind, heart, and spirit of a man who, like so many others, has been forced to come to terms with who he is, who he was, and where to go from here. Ranging from thought-provoking verses that could double as lyrics on a rock album to rhythmic stories about luck, love, life, and death to Bushido-inspired lamentations, it conveys a message that is almost completely devoid of faith, yet ultimately full of hope.

What People Are Saying

“Have one word for this book. FANTASTIC thats what it was. i loved the plot that this story had.”

Goodreads Reader

“I absolutely fell in love with the dark and sometimes morbid poetry in this book. I couldn’t believe I had gotten it free when I have paid nearly $10 for shorter books from much less talented poets. I recommend this for everyone that needs to feel like it could be worse, because it picked me right up.”

Amazon Reader

“I really loved this book and it surprised me! Once I started reading it I thought, it’s a book about ninjas…great…but after a few pages I realized it was much more! I loved how it was told through different points of view, especially the “bad guys”. It’s a point of view you almost never get to see and it added just enough that you actually feel bad for them when they get they’re butts kicked! I would definitely recommend this book and I’m really glad I won this (free) from Goodreads!”
